What's the definition of compromise in a relationship?

working on a list of times a man doesn't mind compromising....

1. Wedding Plans...we truly don't give a F what colors, what types of flowers, if it's a band or DJ, who sits next to whom, or if your slut cousin Becky shows up.
2. Funerals ...even if we didn't like your mom, yes we'll still go and not b**** about it.
3. Family Birthday's ...we understand this is something we must do. (excludes NFL Sundays...No exceptions.
4. Staying home from work...no honey it's okay i'll stay home and wait for the insurance adjuster.

that's all i have so far...

 

There are two ways to compromise in a relationship:

(1) Meet halfway. Example: she wants to buy the $4000 refrigerator, he wants to buy the $1000 refrigerator. You both change to choose the $2500 refrigerator.

but there are times when they simply can't meet halfway. In those times, someone has to win, and the other loses. That's frustrating to the loser, but if properly handled, it can be fair. Here's the second way to compromise:

(2) Alternating win/lose. Example: She wants to go to Florida to visit her family. He doesn't. They decide that he'll lose this one and they go to Florida. The next time they encounter an alternating win/lose scenario, he gets to win and she loses.

 

5. "...Chinese, Whataburger, Maco's Tacos, Benihana, whatever, b*tch, let's just stop somewhere to eat, I'm hungry and I know you are too, G*shfr*ckin' damn it!!! "

6. " Yes. I'm stupid. Ok. Yes. I eff'd up. And... yes... I shouldn't have [insert something moronic we did here]... ok. OK. I'm insensitive. OK." [she leaves] [Click! Game back on.]

droxford, under no circumstances will we compromise anything that violates Rockets' game time. This is a religion and we're the followers. So you wanna call it a cult? So be it. Accept it. Nothing compromises against Rockets' game time. We compromise AROUND Rockets' game time. ¿Comprende?

Lady_Di, already arguing with him again, eh?

 

I once employed a "veto power" compromise. You get one veto X amt of days. Or in the case of moving into a new house, each gets to claim veto power over design decisions of one room. Don't abuse your veto power, though.

 

To get some azz...

Seriously, compromise to me is doing something not because I want to but to make the other person happy...sacrifice...No matter what it is, well, within reason...

Saying I love you means never having to say your sorry...awwww....

 

Uh-oh. Trouble in paradise.

Well... ? What was it he wanted? Pink walls? A birdbath? What?

 

So give him a room, and no, not the garage, to implement as he likes. Let it be "his room."

 

In my personal experiences this is true. I cannot get too detailed because people I know read this board but from what I have seen, been told, heard, etc. it is usually the women who are unhappy. Kind of scary if you're looking to get hitched and are a male.

 

Dude. You don't own a house, do you? Don't make suggestions like this. She's already got his balls in her purse. What, you want her to own him, too? Damn.

But, for real... you don't own a house, do you?

This means she will take as follows:
House - His Room = ALL THE OTHER @!#*&)(%$ rooms in that house!
DUH.

 

Hence why divorce rates are high and so is adultery...sad, but true...A lot of the women at the gym, whom are married, are starving for attention and they really appreciate compliments and such...it's the world we live in...

 

it's just nice to have your significant other to believe in you.

my wife one time said..."i bet you could put in a hardwood floor"
in my head.."wtf...really? she's gotten into my secret stash again"

but that's all i needed to hear..and bam...hardwood floors...

damn she's a good manipulator.

 

Giving up the things you had or did before you met.

 

Because when women get unhappy in marriages, they stop putting out.

 

My wife would tell you the first year of living with me was the hardest. That the adjustment was more difficult than she expected...but that it's gotten better every year since. In truth, we'd both say that. Just remember what's most important.

 

Truth.

 

Was REALLY bad on your part and, like xcharged said, you didn't trust him. Here's how you REALLY meant it, 'cuz you said it yourself:

Now get his ego back up by saying: "Yes. Let's do this. If we both have to pay for it, so be it, but we're going into this together that's what she said. I love you no matter what and I support you, my loving man." [in the end you'd be laughing, watching the sunset, fade to black, show the names, play the happy song...]
